Unfortunately, Nirvana is busy practicing cheering for the Shrieking Bloodstorm, who have actually entered into the Lustrian Tournament. As such, the Skaven seer cannot predict any results for this time.

I will be keeping track of stats, including all the remaining qualifiers (listed as TV species, as opposed to team name), how many people are in the tournament, how many of what species are in the tournament, how many of each species make it to each round, and which species beats which species throughout the tournament.

Additionally, I will be keeping track of the highest TV still in the tournament (2430 Lizardmen now that the 2770 Sexy Ogres are out), and the lowest TV in the tournament (1490, the same pro elves that kicked the Sexy Ogres out).

If anyone has any other stats they feel would be interesting, I would be glad to add them to the blog.

lol; nah, he's still a Dwarf; the team might be listed seperately, but that's because I'm hoping to gain a list of teams that do well in tourney's against other teams, and (especially the skink) changes the Hammers a lot and won't really help statistical analysis. John Little by himself though is just an (awesome) Dwarf legend.

I'm trying - question is, what else might be interesting? I'd like to put down what each win came from (dicing, one turning, bashing, position, overtime coin toss, over-overtime coin flip, a truly key failed roll(s), etc), but I'm not sure if I could actually figure that out with any accuracy.

Additionally, I will be keeping track of the highest TV still in the tournament (2430 Lizardmen now that the 2770 Sexy Ogres are out), and the lowest TV in the tournament (1490, the same pro elves that kicked the Sexy Ogres out).

Have to say that kicking the sexy ogres from a tournament has a price...

After today's forfeits, Calib, legendary Chaos Dwarf Blocker is out of the tournament, without even trying a match. Further, with Schlumpen knocked out by Killpurplegoo, 2 more legendary players are gone.

That leaves 11 legendary players in the tournament!

With only one game given an extension for round 1, we give an update on species still in the match:

In an interesting turn of events, only 2 dark elves and 2 chaos dwarves are still in the running - but 1 grandfathered Ogre team managed to get past the opening rounds! Skaven, Chaos and Orcs all still have heavy presences in the tournament, but most other species are wondering if they can make it through; except Dwarves! All 4 (5 if you count the mutated Hammers) of the Dorfs who entered the tournament are still in the running!

Another interesting tidbit, which partially shows the randomness of the draws, and partially shows that no team is truly overpowered as a species:

Of the 69 games played so far, only twice have the same species beaten the same species: Orcs beat Skaven thrice, and lizardmen beat humans twice (interestingly, the same lizardman team, which has only played humans in this tournament.)

I call BS on Nirvana's stats as related to Humans..."we" got the NUFFLE rim job during the LC and scoff at all of this...I proceed to kick dirt, spit a wad of tobacco and cry foul at the injustice that the LC delivered on Humanity.
